I'm due to fly LHR-HKG this week and I was totally gutted to see that the equipment has been changed from the 744 to the 74A (i.e. the angled to the lie flat seats)
I'm not a large person at all and I feel so confined in the seat all the time.. not to mention the slow meal service and everything... the new seat is such a disaster and I wish they would just stop rolling it out!!
I couldnt change to the later flights due to connections and my flight cannot be endorsed to another airline (booked into I class) ... Obviously the new F is great and I loved it when I was on it a month or two ago but I dont understand how horribly wrong they can go with a seat, the width is comparable to Economy class!
